Why The Ultimate Guide Coursebooks Are an Investment in Your Future in Soap Making

There are lots of options for learning how to make soap: blogs, videos, classes, books, books, Facebook groups, websites and so much more. Some of these are free and others are incredibly expensive, most without any follow-up or support. All of these options require time, dedication, and research in order to fully understand and comprehend each of the topics that are discussed in our coursebooks. There is literally no other resource that has all of this information in one place, in an easy-to-follow and comprehend format.

​

Maybe you don’t know where to start? Maybe you have tried to use these resources and they don’t provide you with the knowledge or support that you need? In soap making, each piece of the puzzle is crucial to your success. These pieces include, but are not limited to: soap science, including physics and chemistry, soap phases, fatty acids, SAP values, soap properties, superfatting, selecting the right oils and butters, lye safety, soap calculators, additives, and more. Information about each of the unique styles and processes of soap making is mandatory to ensure the success of your soap making endeavors and there is so much misinformation and unsafe soaping practices promoted that it can be hard to decipher which to follow. Every one of these topics is important when learning how to formulate recipes and successfully create soap- and each of these things is covered in significant detail in our coursebooks with their own chapter, including extras like videos, images, charts, learning exercises, experiments, and chapter reviews.

 

After completing our coursebooks with the support of our volunteer soap making teachers and help from our online community of students just like you, you will be able to successfully formulate and create your very own soap — with the properties, appearance, and performance YOU desire. Most of the information to self-teach and become a successful soap maker is out there, but we have taken the time, energy,  and years of experience and dedication to collect this information and provide readers with one easy-to-read resource with the support necessary to help you succeed.
